No.891: February Little Things Bingo

I had so much fun making January’s bingo board last year that I decided to make another one for February! Just like before, the board has 24 free or inexpensive tasks that will hopefully bring joy, peace and/or a boost of creativity. We’ll see how many I can check off the list. If you need a little something to get you through this month, feel free to play along too!

The tasks are:

Go for a 20 minute walk outside. // A prompt from January’s board that is worth repeating! Breathe deep in the winter air and get that blood flowing.
Send someone a valentine. // Some ideas: this garland mailer or this DIY Valentine’s Day in a box looks so fun! I also loved this envelope decoration.
Watch a documentary. // Let’s learn something! I’m especially interested in choosing something from this world history documentary Youtube channel.
Give $5 to a favorite charity or blogger. // Little amounts still matter!
Bake cupcakes. // Lots of delicious choices: make a classic flavor like vanilla or chocolate or try something unique like salted caramel or even chocolate chip!
Light a new candle. // A similar challenge is to use up a candle you’ve already started burning.
Clean unnecessary photos off of the phone. // I desperately need to do this! So many times I take multiple photos (to get the best one) and then never delete the extras after.
Stretch. // As we get older, our mobility becomes more and more important. A great habit to incorporate to avoid injury.
Buy some flowers. // I’m going to be on the lookout for ranunculus.
Paint, sketch or draw. // This can be as complicated as completing a watercolor course to just doodling in the margins of your planner. It all counts!
Declutter ten items. // Bonus points if you can declutter more than ten.
Make a garden plan. // Even though it doesn’t feel like it, spring planting is right around the corner! Browse through seed catalogs or websites and choose a few to grow this year.
Do a random act of kindness. // The possibilities are endless, but this is a great list to get the ideas flowing. (I have an old post with some ideas too.)
Make a new soup. // Chilly evenings call for something warm in your belly. This post has a lot of delicious options.
Invite someone over. // Consider this a gentle push toward inviting someone over for dinner or even just a play date.
Take a nap. // A luxury for most of us!
Read a love story. // I’m not a big romance reader, but two books on my TBR are Green Dolphin Street by Elizabeth Goudge and The Good Part by Sophie Cousens.
Play a board game. // I’m thinking we need to pull out our Scrabble board.
Clean your bedding. // Time to wash those quilts and duvets. Washing your bed pillows would be an accomplishment too.
Order new skincare. // A similar task would be to just start using the skincare you already own! I definitely need to be better about creating a routine in this area.
Wear something pink or red. // I’m not sure I even have clothing in those two colors, but we’ll see.
Deep clean the pantry. // A great opportunity to inventory what you own and prioritize food that is about to expire.
Feed the birds. // This activity looks easy and fun.
Make a homemade pizza. // Yum.
